Lupe fiasco new mixtape

Lupe Fiasco released a new mixtape on Thanksgiving called Enemy of the state. It is available for download all over the web. He spits some rediculous stuff on this won. Cop it its available for free and yes its legal... I think.

Roethlisberger NOT playing!

Ben Roethlisberger will not be playing in this showdown between the Steelers and the Ravens tonight. This changes almost everything for the Ravens defense. Stepping in is second year quarterback Dennis Dixon.

This probably means that they will put more of the load on the running backs particularly Rashard Mendenhall since Willie Parker is also on the injury report.

Does this mean the Ravens automatically win... NO. But this will make it much easier for the Ravens to outscore their opponent because their starting quarterback is out. WIth that being said, I think the Ravens win!

Steelers at Ravens

This Sunday night under the bright lights the whole nation will be watching the these two teams buckle up their chin-straps and clash. The 6-4 Pittsburgh Steelers will be coming to Baltimore to take on the Ravens.

The Steelers are the 5th rated passing team in the league averaging 268 passing yards/game and staring cornerback Fabian Washington was just put on IR. This is the biggest problem for the Ravens coming into this game. Harbaugh said that Washington's spot will be replaced by committee although it is widely speculated that Lardarius Webb will get his first start at the position. Whoever starts better be able to get on top of Santonio Holmes who has given the Ravens problem in the last couple of encounters between the two.

On offense, the two tackles for the Ravens handled Freeney and Mathis last week. This week they have a different challenge but they are up to it. James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley have combined for 15 sacks so far this year. If the O-line can provide a push for Ray Rice and protect Flacco in the pocket, the Ravens offense may be able to put up enough points to win.

Since their loss to the Bengals in week 5 the Ravens have been tied for first in the league in scoring defense by allowing just 15.2 points a game. Last week we saw the Ravens defense give Peyton Manning and co. a problem so I know this same defense is capable of tormenting Roethlisberger and the Steelers offense.

The Ravens only win if the offense can be more productive than they have been in the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately it does not turn around in this game.

Steelers 17 Ravens 10.

Injury Report in the Steelers' favor?

Ravens

Terrell Suggs (Doubtful)
Ray Lewis (Questionable)
Ed Reed (Questionable)
Matt Birk (Probable)
Todd Heap (Probable)
Jarret Johnson (Probable)
Haloti Hgata (Probable)
LJ Smith (Probable)

Steelers

Charlie Batch (Out)
Chris Komeatu (Out)
Troy Polomalu (Out)
Travis Kirschke (Questionable)
Ben Roethlisberger (Questionable)
Willie Parker (Probable)


This week we see some of the biggest names from both sides in this contest on the injury report. Ravens chances of playing Terrell Suggs are doubtful and the Steelers will be without Troy Polomalu altogether. Ben Roethlisberger is listed as questionable but will most likely start Sunday night. Ed Reed and Ray Lewis are listed as questionable as well because of foot injuries. Good to see Haloti ngata probable rather than as like he was last week vs the Colts. Looks like the injury report plays in the favor of the Steelers. Especially if Ray Lewis or Ed Reed do not play.

Washington and Lawrence done for the year

Fabian Washington, starting cornerback for the Ravens, was put on IR after he tore his ACL in the game vs the Colts last Sunday. The Ravens signed CB Cary Williams, former Tennessee practice squad member, to take his roster spot although Lardarius Webb is more likely to start in Washington's place.

Matt Lawrence was also put on IR after being inactive for two weeks because of a knee injury. In response, the team signed FB Charles Ali. Ali will probably take Lawrence's place on special teams. This move will not affect Leron Mcclain's reps.

The injury bug has arisen again in past few weeks. It has gotten Haruki Nakamura and the two aforementioned injured players in the last two weeks. Hopefully the Ravens have enough talented depth to effectively replace the these players. Otherwise the already slim chances of getting ending with a winning record gets even tougher to accomplish.

Survivor Series- "Pretty good"!

I attended Survivor Series last night and it was my first time attending a live wrestling event. It was truly enjoyable. The crowd has all kinds of fans mixed together, the pyrotechnics were super-loud and you get to see what happens in between matches.

But during the matches there was plenty of lively entertainment. The elimination matches were good. Team Miz vs Team Morrison did not impress me but Team Kofi vs Team Orton did. The way Kofi finished the matched was incredible even though I was anticipating seeing him RKO'ed by Randy Orton. The triple threat matched between Chris Jericho, Big Show and Undertaker was average. I knew Taker was going to win I only watched to see which move he would use to win with. Finally, the main event lived up to the hype. Shawn Michaels set the tone by knocking out Triple H early with the Sweet Chin Music. The only dissapointment was, CENA WON!

Overall, it was a great experience. I must say I did miss the commentary of King, Cole and the rest but during the action that became just an afterthought. Survivor Series was not superb but it was pretty good.

Not good enough...

The Ravens lost to the Indianapolis Colts by 2. The final score was 17-15. The game was a field goal race after Indianapolis came out and scored quickly on the first drive of the game. If just one of their many goal line attempts resulted in a touchdown rather then a field goal attempt, they would have won the game.

The defense did their part in preventing Peyton Manning from running up the score even though he had almost 300 passing yards. They forced several turnovers in key situations.

The offense was moving the ball in between the 20's but in the redzone they froze up. They started of the game as they usually do by not scoring a touchdown in the first half but when they clock struck 0 at the end of the fourth they still had not scored a touchdown. Bright spots- Ray Rice (20 carries-70 yards/7 catches-64 yards) and Derrick Mason (9 catches-142 yards).

Now the Ravens are at 5-5. People are saying they can get into the playoffs at 10-6. This means that in order for the Ravens to go they can only lose one more game. Honestly, it looks like the Ravens will not be playing in the playoffs this year. They are already sliding out of the picture and they have not even played Pittsburgh yet. Looks like serious trouble!

Colts at Ravens

I am pretty nervious about this one. The Ravens beat one of the worst teams in the Nfl in an unconvincing fashion. This week they will be facing one of if not THE best team in the Nfl. Here is how these teams match-up:

Offense

Total Offense
Ravens: 348.9 ypg (13th)
Colts: 401.1 ypg (3rd)

Rushing Offense
Ravens: 118.1 ypg (14th)
Colts: 86.0 ypg (29th)

Passing Offense
Ravens: 230.8 ypg (15th)
Colts: 315.1 ypg (1st)

Defense

Total Defense
Ravens: 302.8 ypg (7th)
Colts: 322.7 ypg (13th)

Rushing Defense
Ravens: 93.9 ypg (5th)
Colts: 108.7 ypg (14th)

Passing Defense
Ravens: 208.9 ypg (13th)
Colts: 214.0 ypg (16th)

Ultimately it will come down to how well the Ravens defense does in stopping the Colts offense. Without Terrell Suggs, the Ravens will lose some of their pass rushing force. The secondary will not be able to handle the repitoire Manning has to work with. Flacco and Rice may be able to put up some points against this defense but not enough to best Manning and co.

The only chance for the Ravens to win is for their offense to start off hot otherwise the win will be almost unreachable by halftime.

Colts 33 Ravens 17

Jay-Z finally gets his first #1 single as a lead performer

This week Jay-Z's song Empire State of Mind featuring Alicia Keys topped the Hot 100. This makes it the first time Jay-Z has topped the charts as a lead artist. He has been apart of number one songs like Rihanna's Umbrella, Beyonce's Crazy in Love and Mariah Carey's Heartbreaker but never made a chart topper of his own.

This settles the argument about which Jay-Z song is the most popular of all time. I guess it is not H to the Izzo or 02' Bonnie and Clyde its this one. Congratulations Jay, took you long enough!

B.O.B/Bobby Ray- No Mans Land

Here is a video from B.O.B or Bobby Ray or whatever is name is. Its not all that hip hop sounding but its a good video. Watch it!

This game really could have been on Sunday at 1pm...

The Ravens defeated the Cleveland Browns 16-0 on Monday Night Football in a nationally televised uncaptivating game. The birds won but not in the dominating fashion I and many others expected. This can be partially accredited to the seven penalties for fourty-three yards Baltimore committed.

Also the Ravens scored all of their points in the third quarter. At half time neither team had put up any points. The closest attempt came from a field goal attempt that Steve Hauschka missed. Because of this, I would not be surprised if the Ravens bring in the someone to try out for that position.

We saw the offense start slowly again. The Browns defense was getting major pressure of Flacco from almost every angle and as a result Flacco could not throw the deep ball that he wanted.

In the second half, we saw the Ravens energized by a touchdown drive that ended with a 13 yard touchdown run by Ray Rice. From there, the defense did there part by creating turnovers and robbing the Browns offense of any dignity they thought they brought of the locker room. Dawan Landry had a 48 yard pick-six. The second interception thrown by Brady Quinn was intercepted by Chris Carr and led to one of the only two kicks made by Hauschka on the night(had an extra point blocked).

I was glad to see the Ravens get their hands on the opposing quarterback. They had four sacks, two from linebackers. Jarret Johnson has become the pass rusher that Terrell Suggs was supposed to be. Speaking of Suggs, he came out of the game earlier because of an injury.

This allowed Paul Kruger to get some signficant time in at outside linebacker and from what I saw I was not impressed. His first instinct seems to be bull rush but he cannot succeed by that being his only way of rushing the passer. I saw him try a spin move one time and it did not help his cause. I will say he has potential to develop into a Jarret Johnsonesque player but he needs a lot more time.

Overall, I learned that the Ravens are not the team they came into the season as. In the Chiefs game I saw a team with enough offensive fire power to compensate for their defensive shortcomings. But on Monday the offense could not take advantage of the opportunities their defense gave them. I think the next two games are going to be VERY difficult for the Ravens. The undefeated Colts and the Steelers will not be as easy to shut out.

HipHopDX | Latest Hip Hop News, Rap News, & Rap Music News | Katt Williams Speaks On Recent Arrest

Katt Williams speaks on being arrested on charges of burglary and criminal trespassing. Thats right people, he was accused of stealing 3,500 dollars worth of jewelry. I got one question. With all the money he has, isn't this chump change? Well that's Williams' defense. Check it out!

AFC North is theirs for the taking. No NOT the Ravens!

Today the Bengals traveled to Pittsburgh and defeated their closest division competition Steelers 18-12 for the second time this year. This means that the Bengals have swept both the Steelers and Ravens this year and are standing firm at the top of the division at 7-2.

Today they beat the Steelers with their defensive muscle although the Steelers earned more offensive yards then they did. Neither quarterback threw for more than 200 passing yards nor did a running back earn more than 50 yards rushing yards. Cedric Benson left the game early with a hip injury so this left the Bengals without their superproductive running game(why didnt this happen last week, I dont know).

The biggest play for the Bengals was a 96 yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the first quarter. This got the cats up early but the defense won the game by keeping the Steelers' offense from touching the endzone.

At this point the division belongs to the Bengals as long as they play like this. Now the Ravens have to beat the suddenly pass happy Steelers with their suspect pass defense twice in order to finish second place in the AFC North and have a chance for a wildcard spot.

I haven't written this season of yet Ravens fans. The team is just going to have to win every easy game and surprise us with a couple of upsets to get to the playoffs. Priority #1 is win at least 2 of the last three division games. If they win against the Browns on Monday, they will be one small step closer to sliding on their pads in January.

Oh its just the Cleveland Browns, no biggie! Right?

On Monday Night Football the Baltimore Ravens are going to Cleveland to take on the stagnant Browns. Looking at both team's records you would think the an average team will be facing off against a horrible team. That is not the case here.

The Ravens offense is rolling on all cylinders this year except when they face a defense that can consistently get in Joe Flacco's face. The Browns are not one of those teams. The Ravens are currently ranked 10th in the league for offensive yards gained per game. Ray Rice is a dual threat that can smash a defense running through the A gap or catch a pass out the backfield and run up the sidelines. Flacco still has pass threats Todd Heap and Derrick Mason but this year Kelley Washington, nine year veteran, has stepped up and become a consistent third down conversion man from the slot.

The defense has been inconsistent so far this year but I think they will show up and look good on Monday because of the offense they are playing against.

The Browns offense's inability to develop productivity is mostly to blame on not having one quarterback they trust to lead their offense to success. One week they have Derek Anderson starting he plays a pathetic game and a week later they choose Brady Quinn to start. They have been doing this all year. At the reciever position they traded their best option away to the Jets. So now they have Mohammed Massaquoi who can get open for the big play but will not do it on a consistent basis. This is probably the only thing the Ravens' "D" should seriously pay attention to because the run game will not be a challenge to the front seven.

Their leading rusher is former Raven first round pick Jamal Lewis. He is aging and declining so he will not be a threat the Ravens have to worry about.

Their defense has some good players like D'Qwell Jackson, Eric Barton and Shawn Rogers on their roster but two of those three are done for the season. The worst ranked defense in the Nfl will be disected by Flacco and his variety of weapons. Ray Rice will run wild and when the Browns defense puts eight in the box, Flacco will unleash the deep ball.

If the Ravens score points and do not turn over the ball, they will take home a "W". They need this divsion win to stay with the teams in the wildcard run. The Browns are not good enough to push around the Ravens like the Bengals did.

Ravens 27, Browns 7

ECW sucks... WE KNOW!!

RVD recently spoke with a British newspaper about today's ECW and how the product is horribly watered down and this was Mcmahon's plan the whole time. Vince basically used the One Night Stand ppv in 2006 to let people know he was using the name to start another show.

The problem is ECW is not ECW. The acronym stands for Extreme Championship Wrestling but when I watch ECW every match is a normal singles match. Rarely do I see a chair hit anything but the butts of the people on Ringside. It's an hour of third tier wrestling with no excitement. This is why no one watches it. The only way for ECW to regain its glory and respect as a hardcore dynasty is to end it now with one REAL hardcore show. There is no point of belaboring the situation.The only good that comes from it is the fact that the show is just a way for the superstars barely on roster to compete.

WWE needs to either find a way to spice up the show now or kill it because its already dead!

XXlmag Review of Wale- Attention Deficit
http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=57181
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT I THINK

It feels like we have been waiting an eternity for this album to be released. And now that it is finally out it was worth the anticipation. This album is what I expected from Wale. It showcases his lyrical acumen over some quality beats. Producers like Mark Ronson, Cool & Dre, Best Kept Secret and The Neptunes all contribute to Wale's debut major release. With the help of some renown and up & coming artist Wale creates a polished, good collection of conscience, club and car cruising songs to vibe to. Chillin the debut single from the album features Lady Gaga and is clearly the attempt to capture the attention of clubbers and does a decent job.

One of my favorites: I like most of them but Beautiful Bliss lets fans hear all of artist signed to Roc Nation (Jay-Z's new label) on one track and I must say it is truly epic listening to perhaps the future of urban music. Hey you never know the talent is there.

Extra Point: I love the fact that Wale does not lose track of where he came from. In fact he uses it to seperate himself from the rest of the Hip Hop game that is from generally everywhere but D.C. Many of his metaphors refer to things that are familiar to homegrown Washingtonians but are foreign to anyone else. A prime example of this is Go-Go music. You can hear the influence of that music genre in many of the instrumentals on this album. This maybe be a barrier for nationwide fans but I do not think it will affect anyone's view of the overall album. This is a masterful complilation of good hip hop especially in our current time when jerks and juice men are prominent.

Go to target or bestbuy or wherever you go to buy cd's (Walmart for youngsters), purchase this album and support a talented young artist with stifling stardom potential.

The day after

Man oh Man was I wrong. Not only did the Ravens lose but they lose in a way I did not expect.

The Ravens defense did not get off the field on third downs and allowed the Bengals offense to sustain long scoring drives in the first half. Contrary to my belief, the Ravens did not play poorly because they gave up alot of big plays, they let Cedric Benson run rampant on them. Benson had another hundred yard rushing game with 117 yards on 34 carries. Although all of this was without Haloti Ngata, I honestly do not think he would have made a huge impact in this game. The defense was just embarrassed.

The Ravens offense was simply pathetic yesterday. Joe Flacco had two interceptions and no touchdown passes. The last attempt at a scoring drive Flacco took sack after sack virtually eliminating the slim chance they had of scoring. The only score Baltimore generated was two yard run by Ray Rice. Rice was the only bright spot on this side of the ball. He had 135 total yards from scrimmage.

Once again when the team is counting on him to nail the kick, Steve hauschka chokes! He missed a 38 yard attempt with 6:12 left in the game after Ed Reed forced a turnover to put them in position. Him making the kick would have switch the momentum to the Ravens favor and would have gotten the team that much closer to winning. What should the Ravens do with this guy? I am not saying that he lost this game but earlier this season versus the Vikings he had the game in his lap but he let it slip away. He has definitely become quite the liability and I don't think he has given the Ravens a reason to trust him in clutch time.

Overall the Ravens are showing how inconsistent they are and just made getting to the playoffs a lot harder. At this point they probably won't win the division. They have already been swept by the Bengals and they have not even played the Steelers yet. Baltimore you should be ashamed of yourself.

Ravens at Bengals

Well here is the most important divisional game for the Ravens so far this year. It's a bigger deal because of the lost to the Bengals earlier this year when they came to Baltimore.

The key points will be stopping Cedric Benson without Haloti Ngata. The Ravens also must stop Carson Palmer from consistently connecting deep ball with his plethora of receivers. DC(Defensive Coordinator) Mattison dialed up the pressure last week against the Broncos. This week he MUST get just as much or more pressure on Carson Palmer otherwise it will be a long embarrassing day for the defense.

On offense, they must be able to drive down the field on this defense. Odom, their sack leader, is out for the season so their pass rush may be easier to contain. Derrick Mason must catch the ball! Last game vs the Bengals he did not have a single catch. The final way for the offense to be successful is to continue to get Ray Rice involved in every way possible. Let him catch some check downs and/or run the ball in the I formation. He is one of the best open field runners in NFL and only good things can come if the ball is in his hands.

One would think that going to Cincinatti would be a huge disadvatage for the Ravens but I do not think the crowd will be much of a factor. The Ravens have played well on the road ever since John Harbaugh became the head coach. If the Ravens play good fundamental football, do not turn it over, and force their opponents to make some mistakes they should come out victorious.

GMA Preview of 20/20 interview w/ Rihanna

Wow. Finally someone in this relationship reveals the emotions involved. Theres not much more to add there. Ill let Rihanna speak because she tells it best.

Benson - Ngata = Reason for Ravens fans to worry

This Sunday the Baltimore Ravens will travel to Cincinnati to face the AFC North leading Cincinnati Bengals. Earlier this year when the Bengals came to Baltimore Carson Palmer led a fourth quarter comeback assisted by Baltimore's defensive penalties. Cedric Benson ran for 120 yards and broke the streak the defense had of 39 consecutive games without allowing a 100 yard rusher and worst of all they won the game and got the divisional win they needed to sit at atop their division.

This year Benson has had a comeback year making a home in the top 5 rushing leaders so far this year. On the other hand, the Ravens run defense had seemed to regress to a soft vulnerable defense incapable of defending the run. The Bengals, Patriots and Vikings all had a hand in the ravens falling from first in the division to third in the month of October.

They did it by taking advantage of the underperforming secondary and having just a little bit of luck. The Bengals game winning touchdown was thrown right down the middle of the field where Andre Caldwell stepped in virtually untouched. The Patriots were getting man handled by the Ravens offensive line in the fourth quarter until Flacco through the perfect pass to Mark Clayton for what would have been a first down but it was dropped. Then a week later when the Ravens drive down the field on the Vikings defense, the lose when Steve Hauschka misses a kick in the final seconds of the game.

But this Sunday after the Ravens defeating the Broncos at home in what seemed to be the revival of the intimidating Ravens defense the Ravens could very well split the series this year between the Birds and Cats (Ravens and Bengals people jeez!). If the defense can treat Benson like Knowshown Moreno, they should have a good chance of grabbing the "W" in a hostile environment at Paul Brown Stadium.

The only setback will be whether Haloti Ngata will anchor down the defensive line when showtime comes. He has a sprained ankle and has missed Wednesday's practice. That does not sound all that bad but now there is speculation that he may not play at all this weekend. If the Ravens are without one of the best defensive tackles in the league(by that I am refering to Ngata) come Sunday, the middle of the defense maybe more vulnerable to big plays bursting through the middle than they were three games ago.

Justin Bannan is talented but there is only one Haloti Ngata. Lets hope and pray that 92 is standing tall come Sunday at 1:00pm.

(Redskins) You know its bad when...

your owner feels that he has to tell the press that his team has been underperforming and is a dissapointment. Being from the land of the Skins, I know how passionate the fans are for that franchise but really folks? This has to be one of the worst teams in the league in almost every aspect. Their 24th ranked offense is atrocious considering some of the readily available weapons Jason Campbell has to work with. Special teams is nothing to look twice at seeing as though their oppenents this year all have a higher punt return average than they. And worse of all their first seven games included all losing teams and they came out 2-5!
If I were head coach of their next opponent the only thing I would gameplan for is playing against their defense who is currently ranked 5th in the league. They are doing a decent job of stoping oppenents from returning kicks up and down the field on them.

But Jason Campbell has been given chance after chance to emerge as a valuable quarterback but it hasn't worked out. If that situation with Campbell were to ever succeed, everyone around him would have to play exceptionally well but that is not the case. There are crucial imperfections in the offensive line, Clinton Portis is not running a step past decent and Santana Moss would have to more like Randy Moss in order to cover up how bad his quarterback is playing.

There needs to be some serious changes very soon (perhaps during the season) to make this team better. Because Jason Campbell is no Doug Williams and Jim Zorn is no Joe Gibbs so the redskins need to stop thinking this offense is going to magically come together somehow. But at this rate there will be no need to take immediate action, the Redskins are going to have a very long off-season to work on their problems because they WON'T be playing in January!

Rihanna is back on her ish!

Rihanna ft Young Jeezy - Hard (Dirty) | Audio | Rap Basement

After hearing Russian Roulette, I was happy to hear music from Rihanna again but I was worried that the song was way to dark for the masses to get attached to. But now, Rihanna is radio ready with this Jeezy assisted track. She is cocky but is subtly cocky. Jeezy was like extra sugar in cake batter, the result is enjoyable with him but would be just as sweet without him. In the first verse, she is almost rapping which caught my attention. She could have slid that verse in Run this town... Just kidding.

You go Rihanna. You go hard and we know it. You said it best "Your the hottest ***** in here". You go hard and you're officially back on your ish!

Jay-Z feat Alicia Keys- Empire State of Mind

One of the most anthemic songs of the year finally has an official music video for fans to watch and enjoy. Empire State of Mind, an ode to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' hometown New York City, has gained major steam in the past month. Their performance at the 2009 Video Music Awards fueled the fire that is now the buzz this song has generated. When that song plays you feel like New York City is a grungy but magical place where dreams come true. Many who have listened to the riveting song would say that the song has an unparalleled "vibe".

I loved the song from the first time I heard it. The prestine vocals of Alicia Keys and the honest and at certain times grimy lyrics of Jay-Z's verses capture New York in the few minutes song plays. The music video just further emphasizes the message these two are trying to relay. People you must watch the video and feel the passion these artist are pouring out of themselves into the this amazing piece of art.

Processed Food Linked to Depression Research Says

This is an interesting article about how researcher experimented to see whether or not Fried and/or processed foods can lead to depression. Long story short... Yes. According to the article,"people with a diet heavy in processed food had a 58 percent higher risk of depression". Of course with every fried food bashing research experiment, they suggest eating more fruits and vegetables, blah. You can also eat fish to counteract this trend but I think thats only if the fish avoids the frying pan.

Moral of the Story people if your diet is donuts in the morning, burger and fries in the afternoon and fried chicken for dinner, you'll probably wake up the next day more depressed. So lighten up, pick up an apple and live life the happy and healthy way although personally I don't see what's wrong with a box of Krispy Kreme's every now and then.

The Return of Ric Flair

I knew it I knew it. I knew the nature boy was not going to hang up his robe forever. Ric Flair is currently training twice-a-day to get back in shape to perform in the ring in the forseeable future.Personally I enjoyed watching the nature boy set foot in the ring and make entire arenas shout "WOOOOOOO!!" on his command. But does his return to the squared- circle diminish the send off Shawn Michaels and the WWE gave him at Wrestlemania XXIV that earned he and Shawn Michaels 2008 PWI Match of the Year? Even though he is no longer wrestling with the WWE, all the emotions involved with the possiblility of seeing Ric Flair wrestle for the last time seem to be all for not.
Nature boy admit it, eventually even you have to call it quits. Let some younger talent take the spotlight and establish a name for themselves. You are too old to be limosine riding, wheeling and dealing and so forth. Hang em up naitch... YOUR DONE!

Broncos vs Ravens

Well Purple City, you wanted the shut-down defense the Ravens are known for to show up on Sunday versus the then undefeated Denver Broncos. They did. Not only did the Ravens win the game and once again rise above.500, they also made a statement by statistically embarrassing one of the best teams in the NFL. I will say this if the Ravens can consistently play that well in all three fazes of the game. We will be watching the Ravens take the field in January. Flaps your wingz Ravens fans cuz we're all birds of a purple feather!

It begins

Okay people. I know the world has been waiting to here what I have to say about various topics so here it is. Hip Hop, Football, Wrestling and just other random stuff its all here so in the words of the immortal Black Eyed Peas... LETS GET IT STARTED!
